H9002–/וְ–v

Then I looked at all the works that my hands had worked, and at the labor that I had labored to do; and, behold, all was vanity and a chasing after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

וּבֶֽעָמָ֖ל (וּ) u. “and”וְהִנֵּ֨ה (וְ) ve. “and”וּרְע֣וּת (וּ) u. “and”וְאֵ֥ין (וְ) ve. “and”

I turned myself to consider wisdom, madness, and folly: for what can the king's successor do? Just that which has been done long ago.

וְהוֹלֵל֖וֹת (וְ) ve. “and”וְסִכְל֑וּת (וְ) ve. “and”

Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.

וְרָאִ֣יתִי (וְ) ve. “and”

The wise man's eyes are in his head, and the fool walks in darkness--and yet I perceived that one event happens to them all.

וְהַכְּסִ֖יל (וְ) ve. “and”

Then said I in my heart, "As it happens to the fool, so will it happen even to me; and why was I then more wise?" Then said I in my heart that this also is vanity.

וְלָ֧מָּה (וְ) ve. “and”

For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no memory for ever, seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. Indeed, the wise man must die just like the fool!

וְאֵ֛יךְ (וְ) ve. “and”

So I hated life, because the work that is worked under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

וּרְע֥וּת (וּ) u. “and”

Who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have rule over all of my labor in which I have labored, and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.

וּמִ֣י (וּ) u. “and”וְיִשְׁלַט֙ (וְ) ve. “so”וְשֶׁחָכַ֖מְתִּי (וְ) ve. “and”

For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, with knowledge, and with skillfulness; yet he shall leave it for his portion to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

וּבְדַ֖עַת (וּ) u. “and”וּבְכִשְׁר֑וֹן (וּ) u. “and”וּלְאָדָ֞ם (וּ) u. “and”וְרָעָ֥ה (וְ) ve. “and”

For what has a man of all his labor, and of the striving of his heart, in which he labors under the sun?

וּבְרַעְי֖וֹן (וּ) u. “and”

For all his days are sorrows, and his travail is grief; yes, even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.

וָכַ֙עַס֙ (וָ) va. “and”

For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I?

וּמִ֥י (וּ) u. “and”

For to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

וְדַ֖עַת (וְ) ve. “and”וְשִׂמְחָ֑ה (וְ) ve. “and”וְלַחוֹטֶא֩ (וְ) ve. “and”וְלִכְנ֗וֹס (וְ) ve. “and”וּרְע֥וּת (וּ) u. “and”

וְעֵ֣ת (וְ) ve. “and”וְעֵ֖ת (וְ) ve. “and”

וְעֵ֣ת (וְ) ve. “and”וְעֵ֥ת (וְ) ve. “and”

A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance;

וְעֵ֣ת (וְ) ve. “and”וְעֵ֥ת (וְ) ve. “and”

A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;

וְעֵ֖ת (וְ) ve. “and”וְעֵ֖ת (וְ) ve. “and”

A time to seek, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to cast away;

וְעֵ֣ת (וְ) ve. “and”וְעֵ֥ת (וְ) ve. “and”

A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;

וְעֵ֣ת (וְ) ve. “and”וְעֵ֥ת (וְ) ve. “and”

A time to love, And a time to hate; A time for war, And a time for peace.

וְעֵ֣ת (וְ) ve. “and”וְעֵ֥ת (וְ) ve. “and”

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can't find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.

I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; and God has done it, that men should fear before him.
